Hey yogis, in this yin yoga class I'll take you through a sequence I've been doing a lot lately! This is great for your hips, shoulders and spine and best suited for intermediate students. Beginners can certainly do this class as well but you might want to have some extra blankets, blocks or pillows if the poses are too intense.

Two blocks are needed for this class or you can use some couch cushions or pillows. Just grab whatever you have around the house :)

We'll begin with a grounding meditation to set the tone for our practice. This is a great yin yoga class to do to alleviate stress and anxiety. It also features my cat Cleo ;) Enjoy!

What is Yin Yoga? Yin yoga is often called the Yoga of the joints because unlike other styles of yoga, the emphasis is not on the muscles but on the deep connective tissue. Connective tissue is made up of fascia, ligaments and tendons which surround and form your joints. Yin yoga improves the range of motion in your joints and also strengthens them. The results and benefits are more flexibility and greater range of motion and also more stability within your joints. Although your muscles will also be stretched, that is not the focus of the practice. It is best to practice yin yoga while your muscles are cold and NOT warmed up, even if that sounds counter intuitive. The reason we do this is so that we can send the "stress" and the "Stretch" to the connective tissues. If the muscles are warm they will steal the focus away from the joints.

There are 3 principles of Yin Yoga.
1. Find your edge
2. Be still
3. Hold the pose
